Lauren and Keith’s Wedding at Holy Rosary Catholic Church
The stained glass was glowing. The ceilings stretched forever. Holy Rosary in downtown Vancouver felt like something out of a storybook. It was my first time shooting there, and honestly, I was blown away.
A Ceremony That Hit Home
Lauren and Keith saw each other for the first time right at the altar. Their faces said everything. The priest gave a homily that really dug into what marriage means. Love, trust, showing up for each other. It wasn’t just nice words. You could feel it land.
Photos with Old‑World Charm
After the ceremony, we stepped outside for portraits. The stone walls of the church made a perfect backdrop. The weather was cloudy but kind. No rain, just good light and a whole lot of joy from everyone.
Downtown Portraits with Big City Energy
The best part about Holy Rosary is how close it is to everything downtown. We hit the Vancouver Public Library for those clean modern lines. Then we headed to the marina near David Lam Park, one of Lauren’s favorite spots. The water, the skyline, the calm—it all came together.
A Reception Full of Heart at Brix and Mortar
Dinner was at Brix and Mortar in Yaletown. Warm, cozy, full of charm. Lauren made the vases. There were handmade cookies. Keith’s uncle had the whole room laughing as the MC. It felt like home in the best way.
